. . (T)he double function of all the intermediate planes of Man's primary composition . . is, first, to insulate the current flowing from the Central Ego or Soul of Life, the Life-Core within him, so that this Force, greatly moderated, shall be manifest even in his physical body; and, conversely, to draw upon all conditions of planetary life and to register every shade of experience undergone in the course of incarnation and to assimilate these, passing them back in an ever sublimated state to the central Source which alone is Immortal. This ebb and flow between Wisdom and Experience is the ulterior Principle underlying the whole Nature of Man and the fruition of his Destiny. • . . Life . . has conveyed to matter a controlling intelligence, and received from matter the faculty of Experience. Here is . . Intelligence emanating from God, and returning . . replete with that faculty of knowledge which is man's prerogative.
